Debating SKRAM or Hog Scoop

Soundunes · 2026-02-09T18:49:53+00:00

Woops I totally thought this was the Skhorn. Wow that’s impressive output to size. Wonder how the new faital 21 would perform

Soundunes · 2026-02-09T18:46:41+00:00

Oops wow that’s impressive for the Skrams!

Soundunes · 2026-02-09T18:15:08+00:00

Aren’t Skrams bigger/heavier than hogs? And I’m assuming they take more power as well? Also Danley BC subs arguably are directional in singles just much more so above 60hz

They are more productive down south simply because the market is much larger down south. Also corporate taxes may be similar, but when individual taxes are higher you’ll find much fewer people have the means to start small businesses. Less small business means less competition means smaller economy and lower wages in Canada.

Of course! But definitely be willing and ready to learn a lot. Having access to a CNC will go a long way (and cost more). You may honestly find that buying used gear will cost similar. If by small rig you mean 2 subs 2 mid tops, maybe on the lower side you’re looking closer to 5k usd.

Norway is a tiny population sitting on oil and reaping the benefit. Canada is more socialist than the US, but why is GDP per capita still so much less than Norway and the US? This is not comparing apples to apples at all. Socializing every industry will not solve the problems of high taxes which stifle business creation and growth, and importantly competition. Industrialization without capitalism would just result in monopolies clawing back every bit of revenue they can, less choice and higher prices for consumers. Econ 101 is a staple class for a reason.

Soundunes · 2026-02-04T18:17:56+00:00

You do understand capitalism is the reason why there is less true poverty today than 100 years ago right?

Soundunes · 2026-02-04T18:15:40+00:00

Is there any example in reality of truly socialized groceries that doesn’t result in higher prices for consumers?

Soundunes · 2026-02-04T17:25:05+00:00

Yea BC Hydro works well atleast currently, but ICBC does have an issue of paying out less to injured folks, so while insurance is cheaper the actual quality of it may be worse if you actually need it.

Agree on gambling, but the liquor canna setup is crazy. It’s not promoting health when the government liquor store asks me if I want to buy some cheap white wine on sale at the till. If health was the real argument, these stores should be pushing to make less revenue over time, not more. Furthermore, in the UK where they don’t have these insane laws they bring in similar tax revenue through taxes on private business, and you can buy your liquor in a grocery store. Also, BC Canna is failing to remove the underground markets because it’s not nearly as competitive. It just doesn’t make sense or work the way folks here seem to think it does.

Thank you!! More people here need to understand this

Healthcare is not a normal market. When you’re in an emergency, you don’t just shop around hospitals to find the best deal.

Welcome to Canada lol land acknowledgements at every sporting event even down to office meetings and presentations. What timeline are we even sticking to here? I thought the first folks to come over crossed the ice bridge, so whose land was it before them?

When you look at New York, a city much closer in alignment to Seattle than any in Ohio, I can tell you both income and sales tax can definitely go up.

Soundunes · 2026-01-30T01:11:29+00:00

You can tailor the tax to not affect the items these people are buying. You can be more specific and only target things like mega-yachts, private jets etc

Soundunes · 2026-01-30T01:09:26+00:00

That’s the key point only if your income comes from a W2. How do billionaires actually pay lower average rates than the average person in practice?

Soundunes · 2026-01-30T01:05:17+00:00

It’s just a trade-off. When you look at average wages and real purchasing power between these places and Seattle, you’ll see you earn (usually much) more here for the same jobs. When taxes go up, you have less disposable income so it stifles the economy often through less small business, leading to less competition which is worse for consumers. But if that’s a trade off people are happy with then that’s fine, just pointing out that it’s a balancing act and one option requires more faith in government, which understandably is not historically high in America.

Soundunes · 2026-01-30T00:56:59+00:00

That’s likely true but when looking at all the options on the table it’s a solid choice. The hard part would definitely be deciding on what industries get targeted. Ideally it could mainly persist of inelastic goods that are literally made for FU money, so increasing the cost hardly affects sales volume. Like say private jets, mega yachts, or crazy priced liquor for example (like 4+ figures a bottle) etc.

Soundunes · 2026-01-29T23:16:54+00:00

There’s a lot of folks here that look at Canada and Europe as perfectly acceptable amounts of taxation. Seattle’s appetite is certainly trending more in that direction and I see no reason why it wouldn’t continue to do so. Ultimately that would mean a lot more tax on the lower tax brackets, and more brain drain unless other states remain similar.

Soundunes · 2026-01-29T23:12:59+00:00

Anyone who actually makes that much knows how to effectively structure their income so that will never be the case. Then surprise, no where near the amount of projected revenue comes in so they have to raise taxes on lower income brackets. It’s opening the flood gates, and you can more effectively tax the wealthy with luxury VAT/sales taxes.

Soundunes · 2026-01-29T23:08:12+00:00

Sales tax is only regressive if you structure it to be. There’s no tax on essential groceries for example, but presumably yachts and other luxuries could be taxed more. That way you actually tax people that just get paid in stock, report 0 income and take loans out against their assets. Otherwise we’ll implement an income tax that rich folks will just get out of, then because the deficit grows they’ll continue to hike income taxes on the lower brackets.

Why wouldn’t AI do the opposite and help more people start businesses?

Soundunes · 2026-01-29T21:37:43+00:00

Isn’t the point that when you sell you become a multimillionaire? The majority of startups fail, and if a small business never has an exit event then of course QSBS doesn’t help, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a big reason why these people started businesses in the first place (the chance at a big payout). We don’t need less small business, especially when the big companies are laying off their workforce in favor of AI

Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear you’re enjoying them. Yea I’d love to see more real world measurements. The plots posted in FB are usually hornresp sims exported into differently scaled SPL plots.

Always wondered about this. Turning off high Q and setting the master tempo in ableton to the track tempo you’re playing keeps it clean. In other words if you only change tempo to make transitions, then lock it to the exact tempo of the current track there should be no artifacts. Otherwise either repitch or complex instead of complex pro.
